They contrast both with the environment, but also with the heart of the building, rich in colors, of a blue and a frank orange whose identity is reinforced through a sure game of obliques : as much in plan as in section, for the exeriors as well as the interiors, we engaged in an endeavor in order to leave in orthonormal system.
